Minors defeat St.Brigid's at second bite (18/08/14)

Our minors got the
better of St.Brigids at the second time of asking with a 1-10 to 1-04 victory
at Pairc na Gael in the Championship Quarter Final Replay on Monday evening.

Both teams were evenly matched in the first half
with the first score coming on the 8th minute when Ryan Watters flick to Eoin
Smyth saw him slot the ball pass the 'keeper. Oisin McGivern followed with a
pointed free before the visitors opened their account with a point on the 16th
minute. Oisin McGivern once again responded with a point but St.Brigids found
the net on the 26th minute and a point from Oisin McGivern was cancelled out
with a point for the opposition to leave the 'Nab 1-3 to 1-2 ahead at the
break.

Ryan Watters and Oisin McGivern added points at
the start of the second half as St.Brigids clawed back a point from a free
before an individual point from Shaun Casey put Ballymacnab 3 up. From then
Ballymacnab got into their stride and began to dominate and with the accuracy
of Oisin McGivern and the leadership of Shaun Casey and Finnén Maguire
Ballymacnab ran out convincing winnings.

Well done lads on
your just reward for effort and will now meet Wolfe Tones in the
Semi-Final stage on Saturday 23 August @ 415pm in Clann Eireann.
